A Garden Thank You

I got to go to a crop the weekend before Easter and it was SUPER tons of fun! Because I haven't been much in the mood to scrapbook lately, I decided to bring TONS of stuff to make some fun cards and that is EXACTLY what I did! I ended up getting six cards done and one other project, so I was happy. I know most people could make hundreds of cards during a 10am-10pm crop, but this is me. Not them. Just say'n. HA!

SOooooooo....I wanted to share one of those cards with you today! I am bouncing around the idea of submitting some of these, but I wanted to share, too.




Garden Thank You


This is a Garden Thank You Card. I love dimension on my cards. You know...because I just enjoy giving the post office that extra seventeen cents every time I try to mail one. Yup. That's why.

Oh...wait....

But, alas, I still do it because I really do love to make them POP!




Butterflies on Garden Thank You


I absolutely LOVE those butterflies!!! They are ALL Creative Memories punches! I DID NOT KNOW that they had such cuteness!!! I borrowed them from my table neighbor at the crop and now I want both of them desperately!!! The sucky news is that they are discontinuing the one with the tiny butterfly, so it may be hard for me to find! Bummer, dude.




Punched Fence


THIS fabulous lattice punch is one that my Mommy and Daddy bought for me and I ADORE IT!!! It is made by the most wonderful hated woman in the world! Yup! Martha. Gotta love her, but gotta hater her. It's just the way it is for me, kwim? I know you do. I know.  I also added the hand-written sentiment.




Glittered Flowers


And, just in case all of that punched goodness wasn't enough for you, my dear friends, I am offering fun, flirty flowers COVERED IN GLITTER!!!! Heeeee!!!!!! Really, what could possibly be better? I love glitter. A. Lot. Just say'n.
The stamps are CTMH and I simply used Stickls glitter glue to give them some fabulous sparkle! I Stickled the top of the lattice fence and the butterfly bodies, too!!! Why? 'Cause it's GLITTER, folks!!! THAT'S WHY!!!! Really. I love the stuff. It makes me happy. Just ask Thatcher! She ends up covered in it more than she might actually appreciate! HA!!!


I am joining in with these parties!!!
